Lithium, an exceptionally light metal, gives lithium batteries the highest energy density of any battery cell. Thus, they can store more energy than lead acid batteries or any single-use battery of a comparable size.  

A lithium golf cart battery will last five to six times longer than a standard lead-acid battery. If a golf cart usually gets about 3-4 years with a lead-acid battery, you may get ten years with lithium.

Lithium Golf Cart Battery Pack Charges Faster than Lead Acid Batteries.  A Lithium Battery Pack can be recharged up to 80% of max capacity in just one hour, and fully charged in only 3 hours.

Why AC Motors Perform More Efficiently than DC Motors in Golf Carts. Anyone who has ever driven an electric cart with a DC motor can attest that these carts slow down on hills or when carrying heavy loads. AC motors deliver more power because they tap into current moving in both directions.

When comparing DC and AC motors, AC motors have a higher RPM rate. This means the cart can reach faster top speeds. … For example, if an AC motor can reach 20 mph and a DC motor can only reach 10 mph, then the AC motor will be doing far less work than the DC motor to reach the 10 mph.

4–wheel disc brakes means each of the four wheels uses a disc brake to slow down and stop, rather than drum brakes on the rear wheels.
